Charlie Diradour today held a news conference at The Diamond to encourage unity and reception of the new minor league baseball team headed for Richmond.

“We want this to be the most welcoming city that a minor league franchise has ever seen,” Diradour said.

Diradour, owner and operator of Lion’s Paw Development Company, which owns and manages real estate, also called on the city to contact Opening Day Partners about its plan to transform The Diamond.

Diradour also announced the launch of his new Web site, FriendsofRichmondBaseball.com, which encourages fans to get excited about professional baseball in Richmond.
